What factors that influence mass movement of particles

Mass movement, which is sometimes called waste movement or slope movement, is defined as the large movement of rock, soil and debris downward due to the force of gravity.

1.  Slope  

    - Gravity provides the energy to move the materials.  

    - Rapid movements (e.g. landslide, slumping) etc.

2.  Water

     - Rainwater acts as a lubricant to weathered materials.  

     - Rainwater adds weight to weathered materials.  

3.   Rock structure  

     - Joints dipping downslope usually assists landslides, rockfalls, rockslide etc

4.  Vegetation  

     - Lack of vegetation cover to hold the loose particles.  

5.  Vibrations  

     - Earthquakes.  

     - Construction processes and mining operations.

the denominator has a very specific role.

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.
